Comma comma down dooby doo down down …

• It’s May, but it feels like March. Temps in the 50′s and 60′s (lows in the 40′s), windy, rainy, and cool.
• American Idol – Chris Daughtry is gone, and the fans of Idol are still in shock. I still believe this “talent” show is really a popularity contest. One writer noted that maybe not enough rock fans watch the show. He’s right. Chris will move on. Thanks to him, I’ve been exposed to rock bands like Fuel and Shinedown.
• Internet Explorer 7 Beta – I’m a Firefox user at heart, but I decided to try IE’s “new and improved” version. I’ll tell you what I think after a week of use.
• National Treasure – *** – interesting, but not believable; I do like scavenger hunts.
• Twisted – ** – unusual and confusing, hence the title.
• Cold Mountain – ***** – great piece set in the Civil War, with a moving story and outstanding performances across the board.
• Did you know last week was National Pet Week? I found out the last day. Salem got a new toy for it (not like he’s spoiled or anything).

An audioblog may be on the way soon. No, really.
